hi all,
i took my headlight assembly apart in order to replace the reflector, and i failed to take a picture of how the springs were oriented. also, the previous owner did not have a gasket, he just used electrical tape, so i got a new gasket along with the reflector.
but now i can't get the thing attached back onto the headlight bucket. i had to gently pry with a screw-driver to get the assembly off the bucket, but when i try to force it back on with the heel of my hand, one or two of the springs pop off inside, and it never does seat.
what am i doing wrong? i have pictures of the gasket and the springs at this link if anybody would please have a look and let me know if i have them oriented correctly:
